APPLICATION DATA

This application is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/690,362 filed on Mar. 23, 2007 which claims benefit to EP 06112300 filed Apr. 6, 2006.

The present invention relates to new thiazolyl-dihydro-quinazolines of general formula (I)

wherein X and the groups R¹ to R⁴ have the meanings given in the claims and specification, the isomers thereof, and processes for preparing these thiazolyldihydro-quinazolines and their use as pharmaceutical compositions.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3-kinases) are a subfamily of the lipid kinases which catalyse the transfer of a phosphate group to the 3′-position of the inositol ring of phosphoinositides.

They have a role in numerous cell processes such as e.g. cell growth and differentiation processes, the control of cytoskeletal changes and the regulation of intracellular transport processes (Vanhaesebroeck et al., Annu Rev Biochem. 2001; 70:535-602).

PI3-kinases may play a part in numerous tumours, such as e.g. breast cancer, ovarian or pancreatic carcinoma, in tumour types such as carcinomas of the colon, breast or lungs, but particularly in autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis, for example, or in the cardiovascular system, e.g. in the development of cardiac hypertrophy (Oudit et al., Circulation. 2003 oct 28; 108(17):2147-52). PI3-kinase modulators may represent a possible method of anti-inflammatory therapy with comparatively minor side effects (Ward and Finan, Curr Opin Pharmacol. 2003 August; 3(4):426-34).

PI3-kinase inhibitors for treating inflammatory diseases are known in the literature. Thus, WO 03/072557 discloses 5-phenylthiazole derivatives, WO 04/029055 discloses annelated azolpyrimidines and WO 04/007491 discloses azolidinone-vinyl linked benzene derivatives. Moreover, the two specifications WO 04/052373 and WO 04/056820 disclose benzoxazine and benzoxazin-3-one derivatives.

The aim of the present invention is to provide new compounds which by virtue of their pharmaceutical activity as PI3-kinase modulators may be used therapeutically for the treatment of inflammatory or allergic diseases. Examples of these include inflammatory and allergic respiratory complaints, inflammatory and allergic skin complaints, inflammatory eye diseases, diseases of the nasal mucosa, inflammatory or allergic illnesses which involve autoimmune reactions or kidney inflammation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Surprisingly it has been found that the aim outlined above is achieved by means of compounds of formula (I), wherein the groups R¹ to R⁴ have the meanings given hereinafter.

It has particularly been found that compounds of formula (I) act as inhibitors of PI3-kinase, particularly as inhibitors of PI3-kinase gamma. Thus the compounds according to the invention may be used for example for the treatment of respiratory complaints.

The present invention therefore relates to compounds of general formula (I),

The compounds of formula (I) mentioned by way of example are characterised by an affinity for PI3-kinase, i.e. in the test by an IC₅₀ value of below 600 nmol/liter.

In order to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds on PI3Kγ, the in-vitro kinase assay described below was used. The expression and purification of Gβ₁γ₂-His and p101-GST/p110γ from Sf9-cells (Spodoptera frugiperda 9) has already been described (Maier et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1999 (274) 29311-29317).

10 μl of the compound to be tested were placed on 96 well PVDF filter plates (0.45 μM) and incubated for 20 min with 30 μl lipid vesicles (PIP₂ (0.7 μg/well), phosphatidylethanolamine (7.5 μg/well), phosphatidylserine (7.5 μg/well), sphingomyelin (0.7 μg/well) and phosphatidylcholine (3.2 μg/well)) which contained 1-3 ng PI3K□ and 20-60 ng G□₁□₂-His. The reaction was started by the addition of 10 μl reaction buffer (40 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM □-glycerophosphate, 1 mM DTT, 7 mM MgCl₂ and 0.1% BSA; 1 μM ATP and 0.2 μCi [□-³³P]-ATP) and incubated for 120 min at ambient temperature. The reaction solution was sucked through the filters by the application of a vacuum and washed with 200 μl PBS. After the plates had been dried at 50° C. the radioactivity remaining in the plates was determined after the addition of 50 μl scintillation liquid using a Top-Count measuring device.
